Reading a non-string partitioned Hive table in Pig

I am trying to read data from a Hive table using Pig. Details follow:

Hive table schema:

map <string, string>
yyyy int
mm int
dd int

Partitions are yyyy(int), mm(int), dd(int)

Pig code:

input_data = LOAD ‘dbname.tablename'
             USING org.apache.hive.hcatalog.pig.HCatLoader()
             ;

input_data_f = FILTER input_data BY yyyy == 2016 AND
                                      mm == 7 AND
                                      dd == 19
                                      ;

rmf input_data_dump;
STORE input_data_f INTO ‘input_data_dump';

Command used to run: pig -useHCatalog -f ./read_input.pig

I get the following error.

Error:

Looking on the web got me to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-7164

Is setting hive.metastore.integral.jdo.pushdownto true in hive-site.xml the only solution? This is a corporate setup so am not sure if I can make changes to hive-site.xml and if I get the admin to make the change will there be any side effects?

Tried the following:

Attempt 1

set hive.metastore.integral.jdo.pushdown true;

input_data = LOAD ‘dbname.tablename'
             USING org.apache.hive.hcatalog.pig.HCatLoader()
             ;

input_data_f = FILTER input_data BY yyyy == 2016 AND
                                      mm == 7 AND
                                      dd == 19
                                      ;

STORE input_data_f INTO ‘input_data_dump';

I see this in the log:

org.apache.pig.newplan.logical.optimizer.LogicalPlanOptimizer - {RULES_ENABLED=[AddForEach, ColumnMapKeyPrune, DuplicateForEachColumnRewrite, GroupByConstParallelSetter, ImplicitSplitInserter, LimitOptimizer, LoadTypeCastInserter, MergeFilter, MergeForEach, NewPartitionFilterOptimizer, PushDownForEachFlatten, PushUpFilter, SplitFilter, StreamTypeCastInserter], RULES_DISABLED=[FilterLogicExpressionSimplifier, PartitionFilterOptimizer]}

Attempt 2

set hive.metastore.integral.jdo.pushdown true;
set pig.exec.useOldPartitionFilterOptimizer true;

input_data = LOAD ‘dbname.tablename'
             USING org.apache.hive.hcatalog.pig.HCatLoader()
             ;

input_data_f = FILTER input_data BY yyyy == 2016;
input_data_f1 = FILTER input_data_f BY mm == 7;
input_data_f2 = FILTER input_data_f1 BY dd == 19;

STORE input_data_f2 INTO ‘input_data_dump';

I see this in the log:

org.apache.pig.newplan.logical.optimizer.LogicalPlanOptimizer - {RULES_ENABLED=[AddForEach, ColumnMapKeyPrune, DuplicateForEachColumnRewrite, GroupByConstParallelSetter, ImplicitSplitInserter, LimitOptimizer, LoadTypeCastInserter, MergeFilter, MergeForEach, PartitionFilterOptimizer, PushDownForEachFlatten, PushUpFilter, SplitFilter, StreamTypeCastInserter], RULES_DISABLED=[FilterLogicExpressionSimplifier, NewPartitionFilterOptimizer]}

Attempt 3

set pig.exec.useOldPartitionFilterOptimizer true;

input_data = LOAD ‘dbname.tablename'
             USING org.apache.hive.hcatalog.pig.HCatLoader()
             ;

input_data_f = FILTER input_data BY yyyy == 2016;
input_data_f1 = FILTER input_data_f BY mm == 7;
input_data_f2 = FILTER input_data_f1 BY dd == 19;

STORE input_data_f2 INTO ‘input_data_dump';

I see this in the log:

org.apache.pig.newplan.logical.optimizer.LogicalPlanOptimizer - {RULES_ENABLED=[AddForEach, ColumnMapKeyPrune, DuplicateForEachColumnRewrite, GroupByConstParallelSetter, ImplicitSplitInserter, LimitOptimizer, LoadTypeCastInserter, MergeFilter, MergeForEach, PartitionFilterOptimizer, PushDownForEachFlatten, PushUpFilter, SplitFilter, StreamTypeCastInserter], RULES_DISABLED=[FilterLogicExpressionSimplifier, NewPartitionFilterOptimizer]}

With the above attempts I still get the same error.

Appreciate the help.

Update:
Partition filter does not pushed into loader in some cases:
In Pig 0.12.0, Pig only pushes the first filter to the loader. You will get the same result, but there is a performance downgrade because of it. - To get around this, you should use one filter statement for all partition. Or you can specify: pig.exec.useOldPartitionFilterOptimizer=true see deails here - known issue of 0.12

For pig script specific properties you can use one of these options:

- The pig.properties file (add the directory that contains the pig.properties file to the classpath)
- The -D command line option and a Pig property (pig -Dpig.tmpfilecompression=true)
- The -P command line option and a properties file (pig -P mypig.properties)
- The set command (set pig.exec.nocombiner true) directly in pig sctipt

more details on properties here. . .

Test: cast to type chararray

$ cat pig_test1

input_data = LOAD 'cards.props'
             USING org.apache.hive.hcatalog.pig.HCatLoader()
             ;

input_data_f = FILTER input_data BY (chararray)yyyy == '2106' AND
                                     (chararray)mm == '8' AND
                                      (chararray)dd == '4'
                                      ;
dump input_data_f;
